We have a dear old father
To whom we dearly pray
He has a set of whiskers
They're always in the way

Cho:

Oh, they're always in the way,
The cows eat them for hay,
They hide the dirt on father's shirt,
They're always in the way.

We have a dear old mother,
With him at night she sleeps.
She wakes up in the morning
Eating shredded wheat.

We have a dear old brother,
He has a Ford machine.
He uses father's whiskers
To strain the gasoline.

...From the IOCA "Song Fest," from '59. There's about 10 or 12 more verses, but that's enough to type at a time... ^^^

There is a version in the Silly Songbook. "There always in the way, the cow eats them for hay. Mother eats them in her sleep, she thinks she's eating shredded wheat, they're always in the way." There is a whole mess of verses.
